Olergymen's Sore Threats.
From the Living Church.

From the Living church.
An English surgeon claims to have
discovered the cause of clergy mems
sore throat. No other speakers are
affected in this way, and he has come
to the conclusion that the malay is
induced by speaking down to a CON
gregation from an elevated pulpit,
thereby depressing the vocal organs
and causing irritation and congestion.
If clergymen would hold the head erect
and speak up they would never have
throat trouble, and even if already suf-
fering to some extent they may cure
themselves by speaking in right
position. There are bad habits of
phonation, breathing, etc, which a
good teacher can easily correct, but
the bending forward of the head and
hanging over the sermon while reading
it is worst of all, aud any man can cor,
rect himself in it.

ENCEs IN ILLINOIS.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
l spent the Fourth of July in part
of Illinois where the farmers hadn't
any rain for month and were praying
for it to come. / was in the house of
one of these farmers, a strong believer
in the efficacy of prayer. and he told
me he thought that the Lord was send.
ing them the drouth TO punish them
for their wickedness. After dinner I
went out into the woods and lay down
under tree. . Pretty soon a big dead
limb dropped off a tree close to my
head. l had lived in the country long
enough to know that was good sign
of approaching rain. Then, in little
while more / heard tree-toad chirp.
Rain sigr No2! Then / heard rain
crow cav and sat up to listen. Sign
No. 3 Presently heard locomotive
whistle and the train rumble over a
track l knew was fifteen miles away.
Sign No. A.
l got up and went into the house
and told my friend that had been out
praying for rain to come before night,
and added that / was confident of
getting what l wanted. He looked at
me mournfully and said in hopeless
way that he guessed not. 1t wasn't
for an irreligious man from st. LOUIS
to come out there and out pray all the
good people of that neighborhood. l
took him out in the yard and showed
him the clouds. "Oh," said he, with
cheerfulness, that'll pass around us.
We've had that to occur before" But
j made him make everything secure
and before long there came along a
rain that would have drowned man
if he had been out in il. The farmer
was in ecstacies and would have cano.
nized me if he had known how. l left
while my laurels were green, and !
suppose my friend hasn't yet decided
whether or not possess supernatural
powers.

PL
AND NAPKINS

just the thing for picnics and
private parties, neat clean and
cheap; avoids the annoyance of
broken and lost dishes and nap
kins; no weight to carry. These
paper plates are largely used for
pie baking, and overcome the
objection some people have to
pies because the under crust is
soggy; the greatest degree of heat
will not scorch them and by
greasing them a pie may be
baked on them better than on
tin or earthen ware; the under
crust will be found perfectly
hard and crisp similar to the top.
Napkins are soft and pliable as
linen and will not fade Mnless

attention of the Commissioners of Baltimore coun-
ty, and
WHEREAS, 1t has been published that they have
expressed their determination that such violations

resolved BY this meeting of the citizens of Caver
ton and vicinity, called to consider the moral well
fare of the community:
i(1) That we have learned with great pleasure
: of the position taken by the Commissioners that
we hereby express our hearty appreciation and
strong endorsement thereof as lawful, just and
right; and that we trust they will not relax their
efforts until every store, saloon and place of amuse
ment kept open on Sunday in violation of the law,
shall be closed and all made to respect and yield
to the supremacy of the law.
(2) Resolced, That we hereby appeal to all law
loving and abiding citizens in Baltimore county
to unite with us in endorsing the action OF the
Commissioners and thus cause them to feel that
they are sustained by the public moral sentiment.
(3) Resolved, That we herein direct the atten-
ton of the Commissioners to the saloons and places
of amusement located on west Baltimore street ex-
tended, Garrison Lane and vicinity, as especially
notorious for their gross violations of the Sunday
laws.
(4) Resolved, That copies of these resolutions
be transmitted to the County Commissioners and
to the proprietors of the county papers, with the
request that they be published therein.
